This thread is amazing.

I think CI(G) underestimated the hold the Carrack has on the hearts of their biggest fans. Delivering that one ship on time could have kept the faith another year by itself.

Or they calculated that they don't have to release it and money will keep flowing anyway. In the meantime they can focus on sales of "straight to flyable" new 3D models.

Sometimes it's not the bomb that's retarded.

A comment under the video:

quote:

When you get a black screen after dying, you can hear the sound of Olisar (or wherever you landed last time), your character is still actually in game. All you have to do is to press "Y" just as you usually would do to stand up from the bed. Give it of few seconds (animation time) and then press and hold "backspace" to kill your character again. It should get rid of the black screen for your next respawn.

Dutiful Carrack anti-hype in effect on the sub:

Unpopular Opinion: The Carrack isn't what many are hyping themselves into believing it is, and most disappointment that comes on it's release will be on the players not CIG



So if I'm getting this right, it's fundamentally an exploration ship, in a game with no exploration gameplay. Which most are expecting to arrive without any functionality of note initially. But at some point it may become a 'Serenity' style, all-purpose, jack-of-all-trades?

Hype?

Wonder if there'll be some grumblings about the amount of people around the area when it ends. There's a match there in 4 hours.
